What Is The Treatment For Ankle Sprain And Calf Lump?
Last week ankle felt weak. No big deal sprain them every year. so I babied it bit so I wouldn t sprain it and be no crutches. Yesterday {Feb 2nd} woke up put my foot on the floor and thought i would go through the roof.My left foot , started on the bottom of foot. Now ankle, calf and calf has a lump on it as of this morning. it feels a little better once i can stand or put pressure on it. This stinks because its the first time in more then 25 years I have no benefits. Left foot a little swollen,hot inside not really to touch.A little red. I am over weight 47 years old. Have had a few weird sinking moments in the past 6-7 mo. One minute fine next on the floor but the last one was before thanksgiving..Blood pressure is always low. Never had anything else wrong. Haven t been as active as usual either. Just tired all the time.

Hello
I have studied your case.
As per your history and symptoms possibility of cellulitis can be considered.
Consulting your doctor infection /cellulitis can be confirmed, antibiotic can be started according to examination.
If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery.
Take precaution to avoid spread of infection.
Vitamin B12 is important in the maintenance of health and normal functioning of the nerve tissue. You can increase B12 level by taking meat and fish, or you can take Inj methylcobalamine.
You need weight reduction and blood sugar checking.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
